Jim, that's right. I think they'll have to go back for him once the CDC guy explains that the last of the viable tissue samples were destroyed in the accident. I'd be surprised if that doesn't happen

Re: The Walking Dead

Do you guys think we see a nice fight against the walkers on the season finale? I'm sure there will be a cliffhanger for us.

Re: The Walking Dead

Too bad for Jim because they'll probably go back for him and he'll think they have a cure, but instead, he'll be needed to develop a cure for others. So goes life.

Re: The Walking Dead

Does anyone else have this earily feeling about the CDC? I hope it doesn't go this direction, but it's almost like Resident Evil.

Try the cure on a human specimen.. have the virus manipulate into something uncontrollable and out comes a 6 legged human being walking down the street looking for blood.

I sure hope not.

Re: The Walking Dead

I hope not either. That would be a horrible direction.

I think the CDC stuff is going to be stupid, but like I said, I'll see how it plays out.

i doubt it by the somewhat realistic nature of the show. More likely it will become a safe haven for awhile until the zombies eventually break through. I'm also willing to bet that one of them is turned into a zombie and is used as a test subject

Re: The Walking Dead

The one thing that bothers me a little bit, is how early in the series they are breaking off form the books.

Don't get me wrong I am really enjoying it and I like it to be a little different to keep you on your toes, I'm just saying it seems a little early that's all.

Re: The Walking Dead

I'm still trying to figure out how a heavily armed infantry unit could've been overrun by these things. You have maximum fire power, choppers, tanks vs human bodies that move slow as molasses. Now it would be a different story if these things were the fast movers similar to the Dawn remake, then you'd have problems.

read World War Z...the book pretty much explains how easily the outbreak can happen....its a great read


the book goes into greater detail...theres also movie talks for this

The United States Army sends a task force to Yonkers, New York, in a high-profile military campaign intended to restore American morale. Instead, the troops are overwhelmed and routed by the zombies, due to reliance on tactics dating back to the Cold War which stressed using anti-tank weapons against human enemies, who can eventually be shocked and awed into surrender. Such outdated tactics were utterly mismatched against an enemy which relies on human wave attacks and has no fear of death. Other countries suffer similarly disastrous defeats against their own hordes of the infected, and human civilization teeters on the brink of collapse.

Re: The Walking Dead

World War Z is a great book that I just can't seem to finish. Everytime I start reading it and get involved, I put it down one time and forget about it.

I really need to finish it up, because the book is incredible.

I'm not too sure on this CDC story arc. I will not be too happy if we start to see mutant zombies running around come next season. Those that have read the comics, were there any mutant zombies? I guess you have to figure at some point humans, animals, etc. would mutate with this infection spreading.

nope no mutant zombies...pretty much vanilla zombies through and through but im not sure about the show though since the CDC story arc deviates from the comics so who knows what they have plans in future episodes...

i prefer the slow walking death version than the fast ones...

Re: The Walking Dead

The easiest way for me to explain zombie outbreaks working is that the disease was air born and effected most of the population nearly immediately. The remaining survivors had a natural immunity, thus explaining the chaos of everything from government to the military. Then there would just be such overwhelming odds against them that the zombies could overcome an act of defiance/defense.

I would LOVE that! Or even something like the Tank from L4D
